Installing SQLSERVER Express

After installing Visual Studio 2005 everything has installed fine EXCEPT SQLSERVER 2005. I remember having had the same problem some moths ago, but can't remember now how to fix it. I deinstalled VS2005 and installed back again, but the result was the same. SQLSERVER failed to install

thanks

Can you post the error message you are getting? Can you also search your install directory for the text string "value 3" and paste the 10-15 lines above it?

Thanks,
